Tom Brady's Rumored Romance with TikTok Star Alix Earle Appears Intentional, Sources Say
The love life of retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady is once again capturing public attention, with a new report suggesting his rumored fling with 25-year-old TikTok star Alix Earle may be more deliberate than initially perceived. According to Page Six, sources close to Brady describe him as "very particular," "intentional," and a "perfectionist" who "doesn't hook up with just anyone," indicating that his continued association with Earle is far from a random holiday rebound.
New Year's Yacht Party Sparks Initial Rumors
The speculation began when Brady and Earle were spotted together ringing in 2026 at a lavish yacht party in St. Barts. Witnesses reported that the pair met at the event, spent "a lot of the night" engaged in conversation, and eventually retreated to a private cabin to continue talking away from the crowd. Subsequent footage shared by fans showed them dancing near the DJ booth, with Earle leaning in to whisper in Brady's ear while her hand rested on his back.
Earle herself fueled the rumors with an Instagram post from the trip, calling it "really fun" and the "best trip of [her] entire life." She humorously addressed the dating speculation, writing, "Rumor has it we're still dancing ?? new friends, new memories, and new beginnings to start off the new year." Her family even joined in on the fun, with her father, Thomas "TJ" Earle, joking in a TikTok video that he bought a blazer "because [he] saw Tom Brady wearing one like that."
Super Bowl Weekend Sighting Intensifies Speculation
The connection did not end in St. Barts. Earlier this month, Brady and Earle were reportedly seen together again during Super Bowl weekend in San Francisco, where they were captured on camera dancing closely at a party. The footage showed the former New England Patriots star smiling and chatting with Earle, who is a former contestant on Dancing With the Stars, as they moved together on the dance floor. This second public appearance has led many to believe that their relationship is ongoing rather than a one-time encounter.
Sources Paint Picture of Intentionality
Despite claims from Brady's circle that he is simply "having 'fun'" with Earle and that the situation is "not-that-serious," the same sources emphasize his meticulous nature. For a 48-year-old public figure who closely guards his image, such descriptions suggest that his interactions with Earle are calculated. The report implies that if a man known for being selective continues to appear in the same social circles and rumors with the same woman, there is likely more to the story than casual dating.
Background on Brady and Earle's Personal Lives
Brady, who finalized his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen in October 2022, has been openly focused on his role as a single father. On Valentine's Day, he posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to his three children: Jack "Edward" Thomas Moynahan, born in 2007 with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake, whom he shares with Bündchen. Meanwhile, Earle recently ended a two-year relationship with Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios in December 2025, adding another layer of NFL connection to her personal history.
Representatives for both Brady and Earle have declined to comment on the rumors when approached by Page Six. As the speculation continues, fans and media alike are closely watching for any further developments in what appears to be a carefully curated romance between the football legend and the social media influencer.
